The film tells the story of a village girl travelling to Vientiane to care for her blind cousin who can somehow communicate with the dead and is married to an expat Estonian with secrets of his own. Music and radio performer Vilouna Phetmany and Estonia's Tambet Tuisk star in the feature.
The DoP was Mart Ratasepp with a mixed European and Lao crew. Postproduction will take place in France and Estonia. Mattie Do is the first female feature director in Laos.
